Komatsuna & Deep Fried Tofu

Japanese: Komatsuna to Aburaage no Nibitashi. Komatsuna is a leafy Asian vegetable, historically only available in the winter months, but these days you can buy it in any season. “Aburaage” is Japanese for deep fried tofu and “nibitashi” means boiled, seasoned, and marinated. If you can not find komatsuna, try spinach—it also compliments this recipe.
